Risen to the challenge...Again!
Browsing the Just Bex forum again, I happened across a challenge called Doodle Doodle Doo! We have been asked to produce a card which has to feature some doodling. Here is my take:

Time flies...but I've finally done my FIRST LAYOUT!
Once again, I find myself trying to make up for lost time! Its been AGES since I was on here...and sadly, there is no good excuse for my absence!
I'd really like to try and organise my time, as there are so many things happening and my memory is too rubbish to remember them all. So, as luck would have it, the Just Bex forum http://justbex.co.uk
has just what I'm looking for in their June challenge. Unfortunately, I found out about their organiser too late to start with the rest of them, so I'm doing it under my own steam. Never again will a deadline be missed...as long as I remember to write them down!
Well, this blog was supposed to be about my road into the world of Scrapping. So far, it has been anything but! Anyway, on Thursday I bit the bullet and produced my very first layout! Drum roll please....
Yes, the lovely Simon sporting a very fetching pair of Bunny Ears was what I chose to make my LO about. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, so I think I'll be able to do a few more!

Yum Yum!
| Well, they do say 'you are what you eat'... You Are a Chocolate Mocha and Orange Cheesecake |
 Enthusiastic and intense, there's so much you love in the world... it's hard to do it all. You are good at getting things to mix - friends, flavors, hobbies. You're the master of fusion! |
DCM Challenge w/c 15th June
You're not the (em)boss of me
Hi there playmates, its Lythan here!Doing these dares is such a joy. We all love seeing what you create so much. The way that you have taken up and run with both the Celestial dare and the Midweek extra this week has just been awesome.
As a reward - and as I was so strict last time I set a dare - here is a nice broad theme to get your creative juices flowing.
Embossing.
Dry embossing with a light box or with a die cutting machine.
Using embossing powders or triple embossing.
Using pre-embossed papers.
Embossing with found items.
Just have fun playing!

And as I can't resist being a little (em)bossy - why not see if you can get more than one emboss technique on your card?
Published On Di Hickman's Blog!
This is a few days later than I had planned, but better late than never! I am really chuffed with myself as the card sketch I sent in for the Di Hickman weekly challenge http://dihickman.blogspot.com/index.html
was published on her blog on Wednesday! Its the first time I've submitted to her, but she was really supportive and encouraging, so I thought it was about time I gave it a go! Here is my offering, complete with sketch:
Other fantastic news this week is the lovely Lori has been asked to submit some of her fab scrapping works to be published on a website! This is great for her, and I'm dead pleased! The site is still under construction, but at least they have got their priorities right and got the LO's! As soon as I get the details I'll put them on here.
Right, off to check out what those lovely DCM's have in store for us this Friday!

What a Lovely Day!
Its been a lovely day so far today. A lovely sleep in to kick things off...mmm! Unfortunately, it did get interrupted by Simon phoning me from work, but it was 12 midday, so I suppose he can be excused for dragging me out of my slumbers!
Next, a lovely latte, accompanied by Big Brothers Little Brother and a chat with my lovely friend Feebee. We've not spoken for AGES, so needed a good gossip and a catch up. 2 cups of tea, 3 rich tea biscuits and 2 fig rolls later, we had clocked up 3 hours on the phone! Chatting to Feebee always cheers me up, as her life seems to lurch from one saga to another!
After we had finally run out of ways to describe the BB housemates, we decided we had better stop chatting and do something a bit more constructive, so for me it was a bit of browsing and buying from ebay!
I'm hoping to be able to do a bit of craft this afternoon, but having had such a lazy day so far, I don't know if I can summon up the creative energy needed! I need to have a look at some card sketches for inspiration.....but then again, Eastenders is on in 20 minutes...!

DCM Challenge - w/c 8th June
Here are the details for the DCM challenge this week, with my offering underneath! Unfortunately, the photo isn't the best, so please excuse it! I really enjoyed this one, it was lighthearted and fun - just as craft should be!
Hi it's Keryn here and it's my turn to set the dare this week. This time I asked my family for ideas for this weeks dare and the best amongst a lot of ideas including power tools etc, etc was Lachlan's ideas for Space. It's been his topic at school this term. (Lachlan is seven and in Year 3). To make in a little easier on you all I've called it Celestial to also include horoscopes as well as planets, spaceships, stars, suns etc. How you use these items is up to you.
